Frequently asked questions about ban.dot

What is TMCH and why does it matter for .PAY for online checkout?

TMCH is the Trademark Clearinghouse. For .PAY priority registration, the trademark record must be validated and the registrant needs a matching SMD file. domain.pay can help start the fast-track or submission path: https://domain.pay/register. Begin early because TMCH handling takes time.

How accurate is the availability result for ban.dot?

The lookup for ban.dot reflects current registry data from Amazon Registry Services at the time you search, so it's accurate as of that moment. Because classifications and registrations change, the result can shift — re-check ban.dot before you commit. Search ban.dot at https://domain.pay/domains.

When is the .PAY Sunrise period for loan repayments?

ICANN currently lists .PAY Sunrise from April 13, 2026 to July 20, 2026. domain.pay says trademark owners needing TMCH support should apply by July 10, 2026 and notes a final July 20, 2026 13:00 UTC deadline. Start here: https://domain.pay/register.

Does the TMCH charge me anything to enable an SMD for ban.dot?

The Trademark Clearinghouse sets its own fees for recording and validating your mark, independent of NicNames's registration pricing for ban.dot. NicNames's standard pre-order for ban.dot is listed at $100, separate from any TMCH costs. Plan for both when pursuing priority on ban.dot. See registrar pricing at https://domain.pay/pricing.

For payroll disbursements, can a licensee or assignee use a trademark for a .PAY registration?

Trademark owners can register matching .PAY names during the priority/Sunrise path if they meet TMCH/SMD and identical-match rules. Start at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. If you are not a trademark holder, use the pre-order path for broader access instead.

Availability is checked live and re-verified before payment. Pre-orders are first-day registration attempts — registration is not guaranteed; 100% credit toward another domain (or 80% cash refund) if unsuccessful.
